Sires And Sons Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGG| Wild wanton Luxury lays waste the land | A |
| With difficulty tilled by Thrift's hard hand | A |
| Then dies the State and in its carcass found | B |
| The millionaires all maggot like abound | B |
| Alas was it for this that Warren died | C |
| And Arnold sold himself to t' other side | C |
| Stark piled at Bennington his British dead | D |
| And Gates at Camden Lee at Monmouth fled | D |
| For this that Perry did the foeman fleece | E |
| And Hull surrender to preserve the peace | E |
| Degenerate countrymen renounce I pray | F |
| The slothful ease the luxury the gay | F |
| And gallant trappings of this idle life | G |
| And be more fit for one another's wife | G |
